When it comes to fast-growing university towns in the UK, Huddersfield is right up there with the quickest.
Although Huddersfield is one of the country’s largest towns, it’s only reinvented itself as a student town since the late 1980s. Back then, the university was a polytechnic, but was granted uni status in 1992 and now has around 20,000 students across two campuses in the town.
The town’s nightlife has also grown along with its student population and many student properties are close to the university and the action after dark.
The university recommends student accommodation houses at Ashenhurst and Storthes Hall Park, but there is also plenty of private student accommodation in Huddersfield for when you move out of halls or if you simply prefer to do your own thing when you arrive.
